I will never tire of watching cats explore snow for the first time. I mean, look at the wonder in their eyes! Look at their utter fascination/potential love for a substance I've come to hate so deeply! That i…

Nancy Franck of Cedar Rapdis, Iowa, has spent the last few weeks in the hospital recovering from cancer surgery, with her miniature schnauzer Sissy left in the care of Franck's husband, Dale. This Sunday, Sissy apparently decided she'd had enough of that, and escaped her backyard to find Nancy. In a scene straight out of "Homeward Bound," Sissy ran the…

The Kardashian family has had an almost freakish amount of pets over the years, even for a gang as big as theirs. It's great that they're seemingly animal lovers, but they've developed a gross habit along the way of impulse buying a dog or cat like it's a new accessory, publicly adoring him or her…

When Buzz the goat found an empty chip bag, he couldn't resist attempting to eat the crumbs at the bottom and got himself stuck. Instead of letting a human (or the family dog) help him get the bag off, he took off running! Maybe he was having too much fun?

Wildfires have been ripping through the Australian states of Victoria and South Australia, and some the blaze's most vulnerable victims are the koala bears who live in the region. Jeremy the koala, the first fire victim to arrive at the Australian Marine Wildlife Research and Rescue Organization, has become something of a poster bear for the…

Panda lovers, I have good news and bad news. The good is that unbeknownst to most of we oblivious members of the public, Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney has been busting her ass trying to bring two pandas to the Central Park Zoo and thus make New Yorkers' wildest dreams come true. The bad news is that NYC…

Five-year-old Brennan Decker thought she was being sneaky when she let her pet cow into the house, but when her mom catches her, she provides a laundry list of nonsensical excuses that only a kid could come up with. After talking in circles, she calls it quits around 3:30 and settles in for the cutest…

Considering that the extent of my experience with bathing animals is trying to keep a howling, screaming cat in the bathtub as he paws at me, having a pet who actually enjoys getting clean sounds like heaven. Barry the pug appreciates the relaxing ritual of bath time, which means he's welcome at Spa Day at my…

Jackie the 10-month-old puppy made fast friends with a group of dolphins on the Tutukaka Coast in New Zealand. Jackie's human, Arriane Christie, said the dolphins spotted the puppy from afar and swam up to meet her. Jackie was mesmerized by the creatures, though Christie was worried that the dolphins' big tails could thwack her i…

When Jonesy the cat stepped into snow for the first time, he wasn't sure what to think of it, but he couldn't help but investigate. Luckily for us, his human captured the whole adorable thing on camera, leaps and all! Click through for a few shots from Jonesy's snowy adventure. [Tastefully Offensive] [Image…

Once upon a time, a bunch of prehistoric horror-wolves realized that the clumsy species of spear-flinging monkeys they were snacking on would trade belly rubs and a place by the fire if they occasionally mauled something on command. Since then, man and canine have peacefully waltzed together through the annals of time. Thanks to thi…

Photographer Carli Davidson's "Shake" photo series captures puppies via high-speed photography as they shake water droplets off their fur. Their reactions in slow motion are much funnier than we'd ever imagine when watching it happen in real time. As if the photos themselves weren't cute enough, Davidson put together a video of…

First of all, this cat's name is Twitter. Like, after the internet. Now that that's out of the way, let's all marvel at her Naomi Campbell strut across her household carpet. All that's missing is "Work Bitch" playing in the background. And…

Forget the kids— dogs in Halloween costumes are probably the cutest thing ever. This year, TJ Maxx and Marshalls did us a solid and sent over some of the season's hottest doggy Halloween costumes for our pooches. Amelia's dog Lucca had three killer costume changes, and the pups of some other Frisky friends also made…

Anybody who says they don't like Halloween is lying. Everybody loves Halloween, including zoo animals. To help get you in the holiday spirit, take a cue from these pumpkin-smashing elephants who classily stomp on them until a younger elephant comes along and just goes totally ham. Kind of like the kid who submerges his entire…

We’d all like to think we’ve evolved way past our animal antecedents, having transcended the baser survival instincts that propelled us from the primordial ooze to this moment. These very instincts have been variously invoked by relationship experts, who will one day have us believing that we’re not that different from our mammalian brethren and…

Simon the cat and his buddy Wash were taken for a walk in the park, but Simon was not having it. Wash adapted to life on a leash, but Simon revolted in protest. Unfortunately, curling up in a ball doesn't stop life from dragging you along anyway. I feel you, Simon. [BuzzFeed]…

Everyone knows that funny cats are the true keepers of the internet, but I think my love for cat videos went off the deep end last week when I couldn't stop watching this footage of sliding kittens on repeat at the Frisky office while laughing hysterically to myself for days on end. I'm pretty sure the…

Simply Irresistible

Taking a page out of those girls you went to high school with who can't stop smugly posting every detail of their perfect lives on Facebook, Lady Gaga shaded America's youngest grandma Taylor Swift just perfectly on Twitter yesterday. It all started when Jaime King's unborn child's godmother tweeted about Gaga, using the preferred…

Oh look, it's hottest DILF alive, Ryan Gosling, making a rare appearance in public grabbing lunch in LA today. And what's that I see? In addition to his perfectly worn T-shirt (that collar is stretched just so), hoodie and leather jacket, the Gos is rocking a few faint letters on his knuckles, spelling out the…
